The New York City-based carrier will be launching flights to Trinidad beginning in July 2014, according to Trinidad’s government.

The news, rumoured for several months, was announced in the Budget Statement by Trinidad and Tobago Finance and Economy Minister Larry Howa on Monday.

The Minister did not announce the origin city, signs point to New York.

The new service is the latest regional play for JetBlue, but it’s particularly interesting in that it’s beyond the San Juan cluster, where it has been focusing its expanded service, from the US Virgin Islands to St Maarten.
